Hip-Hop Rumors: Who Swooped In And Snatched Nicki Minaj's Pepsi Deal?

It looks like Mariah Carey isn’t the only person Nicki Minaj has p*ssed off lately. Rumor has it that the folks over at Pepsi Corporate have allegedly decided to pull the plug on the Nicki Minaj Pepsi ad campaign that launched last year. Since that time, the rapper/singer has signed a deal to become a judge on “American Idol”, which is sponsored by their biggest competitor, Coca-Cola. So, although Nicki is a Pepsi girl, part of her American Idol deal contractually binds her to drink from a Coca-Cola cup during the show. That’s a big no-no for Pepsi, who was dead set against her taking the judging gig in the first place.

Pepsi reportedly wants that old thing back and has recruited Beyonce to star in a new Pepsi ad that will run during the Super Bowl. Photos from the commercial shoot have leaked online, and they clearly show Beyonce back at that familiar Pepsi vending machine….just like her previous commercial with them in 2002. Check it below:

Jay-Z’s better half looks to be styled in ’50s attire, in what is sure to be an epic commercial. Bey is also going to be performing at the halftime show, so expect Jigga and Blue Ivy to be in the building. Who do you think is going to make it to the Super Bowl this year?
